lisa Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm playing around with the Toon character and I don't understand how to switch from FK to IK arms properly. I've been posing in FK, but with the character's hands on a table I want to switch to IK so when he lifts himself up his hands stay put on the table. In the switchers control I pressed Match IK to FK, then switched the blending totally to IK, but his arm moved. So how should I be doing this?

edward Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Not sure. Try switching it to fully IK first before doing the Match IK to FK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final position seemed to move the same amount regardless of the order I did the two operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 can you post your file...? hard to figure out with just descriptions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Here's the file. I noticed that when I did the switch to IK and the arm moved, I was able to nearly get it back into place using the IKtwist translate manipulator, but it would take a lot of fiddling to try to get it spot on. Frame 6 has the pose with the hands on the table. IKtest.tar.gzFetching info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
